Christopher Taylor Illuminations
Christopher Taylor comes from Skegness, a resort town on the east coast of England. When returning to visit his parents, he felt increasingly drawn to reflect on the past and childhood memories. He began to take photographs with his Rolleiflex and a bag of expired color film a journalist friend had given him. As the idea of making a book began to take shape, he decided to complement his photographs, which explore emotions, with a chronological visual archive of family snapshots and other documents or items that caught his became the structural form of Illuminations, a book in two parts, two books in one. Taylor’s daughter has designed the book, so bringing this family story full circle.
A trained zoologist and self taught photographer, Christopher Taylor (b. ) has exhibited his work in Paris, Madrid, London, Beijing, Delhi, Mumbai, and Calcutta.

Gooding sees modernist attitudes as inevitably incorporating parts of earlier models that are manifestly anachronistic for today. Yet today, as Gooding rightly claims, ‘We contemplate how a world in which the very elements upon which life depends - air, water and earth - are polluted, and the canopy of our biosphere is pierced…We know now that among the endangered species is humanity itself’. Scholarly yet clearly argued, this publication, its introductory article by Gooding and the series of protracted interviews by William Furlong, is exceptional through the sheer technical quality of the photographs of the artist's
